sometimes the angel
gets her wings ripped off
by those made in God’s image
and she is forced
to fight like a demon
for her righteous light

what does rigidity feel like i wonder to not let your spirit fly in your dreams at night to have thoughts stiffly in the back of your head to say curse words at the top of your lungs to keep silent why is that why do it what to lose if only the shackles when my dreams are in joint session with the reality of the sun light i pipe down just a little but then i say what had to be said and i fly away from exploding angry penii used to getting their own way at times it’s true i have to do what if is required in a kicking scratching and fighting kind of way but tonight i party i come and join dream at last when sleep does come and kiss my lips when what we’ve done we’ve done
summer
ends
once again
i inventory all
the polite games we played
both on the one last night that we
shared and while the Thai noodles were great your constant chatter on how
girls matter more when they take care of themselves you took my face so gently and stared directly at my lips
my heart leapt once and then began to coil away it mattered not that i had thought that speaking words of kindness to the angry lonely man outside your door where far more decadent and precious than the
lipstick that i wore instead you said this shade of red you got from the corner store but my friend Beth who works for Saks can hook you up with Lancome it mattered not that i had thought
my 115 pounds were enough to be the woman i wanted to be instead you said your ass is flat we’ll
fix that at the gym i’ll put aside your contempt for my will
let wrinkles come like medals of high honor
i am who i am
smart bitch untamed
by the
beauty
